Default Skipper Lip Install

Are there any instructions for installing the skipper front lip? I heard its pretty straight forward but i don't want to drill holes into my bumper without being sure or hearing from someone who's done it

Yes, It is straight forward. I don't remember if it does come with instruction. Just follow the holes in the skipper and drill. On the last holes on each side you can use the existing holes.

Unless you are using a right angle drill attachment, you will need to raise the car for drill motor clearance. Install using the factory screws on each end first and support the lip in the middle, then match drill the rest of the holes. You will be able to hold the nut on top from the top of the bumper while driving the screws from the bottom without taking anything apart. Up to you whether or not you want to install their logo sticker.

Thanks for the tips. I installed last night and it was pretty straight forward as you said. Only thing was I could
Not get the end holes to line up with the factory clip to use the screw. I had to remove the clip and use the existing hole in the bumper and splash guard with a bolt washer but combo.
